婦女雜誌 (Funü zazhi), which carried the English title “The Ladies' Journal” on its covers, was founded in Shanghai in January 1915 by the Commercial Press (商務印書館) and ran as a monthly for seventeen volumes — 204 issues — to December 1931. It was the largest and most widely distributed of the commercial women's monthlies of the early Republic, reaching about 10,000 copies a month by the 1920s, up from 2,000–3,000 at launch, through the Commercial Press network in 28 Chinese cities and in Hong Kong, Macau and Singapore.

Six editors held the post across seven tenures: 王蘊章 (1915, and again 1917–20); 胡彬夏 (1916), the first woman to edit it, though contemporaries called her a 掛名主編 with Wang still editing in fact; 章錫琛, with 周建人 as his assistant (1921 to August 1925); 杜就田 (September 1925 to June 1930); 葉聖陶 (July 1930 to March 1931); and 楊潤餘 (May to December 1931), beneath whom 金仲華 edited in practice. 沈雁冰 was offered the post in the reorganisation of 1920 and declined it, taking 小說月報 instead.

The journal changed direction twice. Under 王蘊章 and 胡彬夏 it promoted women's education, natural science and hygiene within the frame of the 賢妻良母, the virtuous wife and good mother, and kept clear of politics. Under 章錫琛 and 周建人 it became a leading organ of 婦女解放. Its 新性道德號 of January 1925 opened the debate on the new sexual morality that cost 章錫琛 the editorship: after 陳百年 attacked it that March the Commercial Press imposed pre-publication vetting, moved him to another department, and dismissed him outright when he founded 新女性 that December. Under 杜就田 the journal retreated to literature and domestic life and closed its open forums, abolishing the readers' correspondence column in 1927.

Its departments were 論說 and 社說 (discussion), 學藝 (arts and sciences), 家政 (home management), 名著 (notable works), 小說 (fiction), 文苑 and 詩選 (literature and selected verse), 譯海 (translations), 調查 (surveys), 美術 and 風俗畫 (art and pictures of customs), 雜俎 and 餘興 (miscellany and diversions), 國文範作 (model compositions), 家庭俱樂部 (the family club), 攝影術顧問 (photography adviser), 女學商榷 (discussion of women's education) and 編輯餘錄 (the editor's notes), together with a 醫事衛生顧問 medical-advice column and the readers' correspondence columns (通信, 通訊, 讀者俱樂部, 自由論壇), which have since become the subject of dedicated scholarship. The last issue appeared on 1 December 1931, and the journal was never revived.
